THE STATE OF OHIO HAS BEEN FORTUNATE IN THE FACT THAT ENLIGHTENED CITIZEN INTEREST HAS PRODUCED OVER THE YEARS MANY CAPABLE PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND I BELIEVE THAT IT HAS HAD, OVER THE PERIOD OP TII4E, A RESPONSIBLE TYPE OP LEADERSHIP IN ITS LEGISLATIVE HALLS»
TWENTY-TWO YEXRS AGO, AS I STOOD BEFORE THIS ROSTRUM BEING SWORH IN AS A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE^ I LOCKED FORWARD WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION TO THE SESSION AND WHAT MIGHT BE ITS ACCOMPLISHMEtW'S AS PAR AS THE WELL- BEING OP THE CITIZENS OF THIS STATE WAS CONCERNED.
AT THAT TII4E, THE LEGISLATURE WAS OVERWHELMINGLY DEMOCRATIC. PRANK UBILE WAS THE SPEAKER. JACOB DAVIS^ OF PIKE COUNTY, WAS THE MAJORITY FLOOR LEADER LATER TO BE REPIA CED BY BISHOP KILPATRICK, STILL A MEI^ER OF THIS HOUSE» BILL MC CULLCCH WAS THE MINORITY FLOOR LEADER AND THE LATE HARRY McGREGOR WAS HIS "WHIP, ON THE SENATE SIDE, PAUL YODER WAS PRESIDING AS LT. GOVERNOR WITH KEITH LAVIRENCE ACTING AS MAJORITY LEADER AND THE LATE VERN MJETCALF SERVING AS THE MINORITY LEADER, ONLY TWO OF THESE MEN HAVE LEFT THIS LIFE. THE REST ARE ACTIVE, RESPECTED CITIZENS IN VARIOUS WALKS OF LIFE BUT WITH ONLY TWO OF THEM STILL ACTIVE IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
THERE ARE NOT MANY PEOPLE STILL AROUND WHO WOLTLD BE ABLE TO NAME THE LEADERSHIP OF THAT PARTICULAR ASSEMBLY, BUT YET, IN THEIR OWN WAY, THEY FASHIONED A PROGRAM THAT SERVED THE NEEDS OP THAT PARTICULAR DAY. THE REPUBLICAN MINORITY' WAS THEN SO HOPELESSLY OUTNUMBERED THAT MANY OF US PROM TIME TO TIME FELT IT NECESSARY, IN THE INTEREST OF MILITANCY AND COMPLETE DISCUSSION, TO JOIN WITH THEM IN GIVING VOICE TO AN ESSENTIAL
